“Breakthrough entertainer” (Associated Press) Kane Brown continues to “defy-genres” and “break boundaries” (Billboard) in country music. The leading vocalist’s latest collaboration, the “brutally catchy” (Rolling Stone) “One Thing Right” with internationally renowned DJ/producer Marshmello has already amassed nearly 400 million streams worldwide, and can be found HERE. In addition to Brown’s vocal highlighted on the track, which “shines with his deep twang that is both warm and dangerous,” (Rolling Stone) he also co-wrote “One Thing Right.”
Noted as being the “future of Country” (Billboard) and one of “31 People Changing the South” (Time), Brown released his sophomore Experiment in November 2018, which debuted #1 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums chart. With Experiment, Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to debut at the top of the Billboard 200, and only one of three country artists to top the Billboard 200 chart in all of 2018. To date, Experiment has produced back-to-back #1 hits--the Platinum-certified singles, “Lose It” and “Good As You,”-- and was ranked by The New York Times as one of the Top 10 Best Albums of the Year. An ACM, AMA, Billboard and CMT Music Awards nominee, Brown first broke through the country charts with his debut self-titled album, which debuted #1 on the Billboard Top Country Album charts and spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at the top of the chart. Brown is the first artist in Billboard history to Top all 5 Billboard Country charts simultaneously and with the 4X Platinum certifications of “Heaven” and “What Ifs,” he is one of only five country acts with multiple 4X Platinum hits (joining Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt and Taylor Swift.)
With “crowd-pleasing original tunes and the voice to make them memorable” (The Roanoke Times), Brown is “not your typical every day act,” and has earned praise as "the boundary-defying future of country music,” (Atlanta Journal Constitution) and “one of the genre’s biggest and most unique artists” (The Commercial Appeal). The arena headliner who puts on “an extraordinarily ebullient concert” (Kansas City Star) continues to earn praise and break concert records with his sold-out live performances, including a recent record at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for most fans in attendance for a country act and with his recent headlining Staples Center show, which sold out in less than two hours.
